Evidence suggests that mental disorders may involve abnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. For example, depression is associated with a reduced level of monoamines in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals in the brain which send signals between one neurone and another across the synapse. Futhermore, people with depression appear to have low levels of serotonin and nor-adrenaline, and people with schizophrenia appear to have high levels of dopamine.
